There are times when what you suggest is titillating... But, Nah... Ain't worth all the trouble it would cause me.

If, on the other hand, there were no consequences to myself or others, either corporally (pun not intended!), spiritually, or emotionally...

Another new, very similar case involving nationally known pediatrician Dr. Mel Levine. This story was on the front page of the New York Times last week, "Star Pediatrician Fights Accusations of Sex Abuse."

Dr. Laurence Diller, colleague of accused predator Dr. Mel Levine writes a blog for Psychology Today in which he says " I tend not to believe" the accusations. He also talks about the Dr. William Ayres child molestation case. Bizarrely, he likens these cases to the McMartin preschool sex abuse case (which he keeps referring to as the McMaster case) even though that involved four year old kids, and the accusers of Levine and Ayres were adult males (none of whom knew each other) when they came forward.

Personally, I think this column is a disgrace and so do some of the readers of Diller's blog:

Dr. Ayres, who is about to stand trial for molesting young boys sent to him for therapy, once co-authored a paper for the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry on how to detect sexual abuse in kids !!! Here's the document: "Practise Parameters for the Forensic Evaluation of Children and Adolescents Who May Have Been Sexually Abused."

I personally know of others who have not yet come forward out of fear and shame. The police believe there are hundreds more out there who have yet to break their silence. "You will be different, sometimes you'll feel like an outcast, but you'll never be alone. You will make my strength your own. You will see my life through your eyes, as your life will be seen through mine. The son becomes the father and the father becomes the son.I now understand one of God's truths more clearly: Our pain is not wasted when we can reach around and comfort another coming along behind us on the same path.

You know what's really, really sad about the Dr. Ayres case ? Reports are coming out now that some brave therapists actually tried to complain about Dr. Ayres' "physicals" to Childrens Services, but that Childrens Services blocked and thwarted them.. because he was an MD. Bizarre, and tragic. This could all have been stopped decades ago, when boys were coming forward.
